GoodYear G78-15 Space Saver Spare with Inflator Bottle
« on: January 17, 2021, 06:31:25 PM »
Offered here, for your consideration, is one "used" (?) Goodyear, G78-15 Space Saver Spare with Inflator Bottle (empty).

Some quick research shows that this would be correct for some early 70's Ford Falcons and Torinos. It may also be correct for other Makes and Models, but in either case, be sure to do your research before purchasing, as this is very heavy - over 41 pounds.

While the wheel looks used, the tire does not appear that way, as it still has some nibs/ flashing left on it. Possibly a previous owner had a trim ring and/ or wheel cover on it in the trunk (?). In either case, you can be the judge of that. In my mind, the wheel would have to be cleaned and painted before displaying in the trunk.
Due to its age, I would not rely on it for a "true spare", and it is being offered for Display purposes only.

As noted above, the inflator canister appears to be empty. The portion above the cardboard sleeve has been bead blasted and repainted. You have your choice of the one shown with the original Goodyear label on the cardboard, or one with the cardboard sleeve only. Please specify which you desire at time of purchase.

Reproduction labels are available for various Makes of cars, which you can purchase from appropriate Vendors, and apply yourself.

$250.00 Including Shipping to Lower 48 States. 

PayPal Preferred

Send PM if interested.

Thanks for looking.
